Patent CA-2571084-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ZADOROZHNY YURI
IPC: H04B10/08
Filed: 2005-04-01
Abstract: The location of a disturbance along an elongated optical waveguide is determined by measuring different propagation times for a disturbance induced phase variation to propagate from the disturbance up to opposite phase responsive receivers at ends of bidirectional signal paths. Each receiver (401, 402) has a coupler (120, 121) that functions as a beam combiner and also as a beam splitter for inserting the opposite signal. On the receiving end, the coupler provides two detectors with mutually independent phase related signal values. These values are processed and mapped to phase angles, from which relative phase angles versus time are derived for each opposite signal pair.

Title: Water conductivity monitoring circuit for use with a steam generator
Inventor: SELLS JOEL MATTHEW
IPC: C02F1/42
Filed: 2007-01-26
Abstract: A water conductivity monitoring circuit determines the status of an ion exchange filter in the water flow to a steam generator. A microprocessor sends a reference signal to a conductivity sensor circuit that converts it to an excite signal that is sent to a probe in the water flow. Any conductivity of the water alters the excite signal, and the modified signal is compared to the reference signal to establish a value indicative of the conductivity of the water. The microprocessor compares the value to at least two thresholds representative of the status of the filter.

Title: Removable medical implant closure
Inventor: JACKSON ROGER P
IPC: A61B19/00
Filed: 2005-11-17
Abstract: A closure for use in conjunction with an open receiver of a medical implant for capturing and locking a rod member in the implant includes a radially outward threaded cylindrical body sized and shaped to be threadably received between two arms of a head of the implant. The closure also includes a driving head and a coaxial removal head having a similar shape. The driving head breaks away from the body at a predetermined torque leaving the removal head.
